Commercial Property Executive and Multi-Housing News have released their ranking of the Top Mortgage Banking Firms. CBRE topped this year’s list, with strong multifamily and commercial lending and a total origination volume of $41.3 billion.

CPE and MHN offer a unique approach to the ranking process. Rather than simply ranking on financing volume, the brands utilize a proprietary weighted formula incorporating total transaction volume, coverage offered, growth in transaction volume and loan positioning, among other factors.

Many of the firms in the 2018 Top Mortgage Banking Firms ranking increased their lending portfolios year-over-year, and despite a slowdown in price appreciation, commercial real estate transaction volume remained steady in 2017. A distinguishing quality of many of the top-ranked firms was that their portfolios span almost every real estate asset class.

Other firms rounding out the top five included Walker & Dunlop, JLL, KeyBank Real Estate Capital and Berkadia Commercial Mortgage. The full ranking plus an analysis of these firms’ performance is available at 2018 Top Mortgage Firms.
